Joseph Haydn was born 1732 at Rohrau (Lower Austria), and died 1809 at
Vienna. He spent about 3 years in England. Classic composer of Sonatas,
based on the style of Ph. Em. Bach. Wrote much Chamber-music, many
Symphonies, famous Oratorios ("Seasons" and Creations"). Hilarity is one
of the chief characteristics of his music.
(Australian Music Examinations Board, Pianoforte Grade III, 1932)

There was no question of using any other instruments -as I have done
with some from this collection- for this piece but the piano. This short
piece contains many surprises in melody, rhythm, and a general pause of
four beats.

MOZART's feature of not playing repeats in a da capo section comes in
very handy here.
